I have own my Kia for 18 months (since new) and have never seen a terms of service message. I presume it is shown on the infotainment screen, or it ought to be.

Re: Audible, fast ticking emanating from the N/S/R during vigorous acceleration.

I believe you may be accurate; the handbrake was engaging at a high position when I acquired it, but today it successfully held on a steep incline at the second notch, only to revert to a higher position later. This suggests that the cable is loose, so I will inspect it over the weekend. Thank you f...

Audible, fast ticking emanating from the N/S/R during vigorous acceleration.

The aforementioned occurs and resembles an erratic electrical relay to the whole universe. The situation is more detrimental for rear passengers. The vehicle operates well, however.
Unusual individual.

Re: Alert indicators when towing

A new requirement for the 2025 model may be mandated by EU regulations to alert the driver when towing that the assistance features are disabled. The owner's handbook may contain the information; however, updates are not always timely, resulting in vehicles being shipped with outdated manuals. My 20...

Re: Could you assist me in identifying this sound - brief video

The pads appear to have been recently replaced, as seen by the presence of the chamfered edge and the new pad exhibiting wear on the rust lip. The pads will merely contact the disc, which is very normal. I would suggest that the brakes are the source of the noise. Have you attempted to apply the bra...

Indeed, the green component serves as the lock; at the top, carefully manoeuvre the locating tangs outward and subsequently slide the clip. It does not require total removal; only press the other component to detach the pipe from the filter output.

The recommended interval is likely between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. I typically perform interim services followed by substantial services, resulting in changes every alternate year. The clips can be easily manipulated manually; detach and slide the green clip, then press the other clip and remove th...
